Nutritional studies of cassava have shown that in high-P acid laterite soils, there was no response to P application during four years of consecutive cropping. In low-P soil, even though cassava initially responded to 100 kg P2O5/ha, the response gradually declined. The optimum economic dose of P...

Five soil types on which cassava is being planted were investigated. Almost all these soils are degraded in terms of soil properties, especially with respect to soil fertility. Cassava is traditionally planted without fertilizer application and soil conservation measures, resulting in a negative ...

En Costa Rica, el promedio del área sembrada de frijol en el período de 1986-96 fue de 55,765 ha., con una producción de 30,653 TM, para una productividad de 558.5 kg/ha y un consumo per cápita de 11.43 kg. Las dos principales zonas productoras son la Brunca (9,25" longitud O. 83,00" latitud N.) ...

Se detallan ensayos sobre tolerancia a la toxicidad del Al y a la baja disponibilidad de P; efectos morfologicos y fisiologicos de la toxicidad del Al; requerimientos nutricionales de especies forrajeras de gramineas y leguminosas; sintomas foliares visuales de problemas de origen mineral y sobre...
El objetivo de la seccion de Microbiologia de suelos es maximizar los beneficios de la fijacion biologica del N en forrajes adaptados a los suelos acidos e infertiles de America Latina tropical, con prioridad en la simbiosis leguminosa/Rhizobium. La estrategia de la investigacion consiste en: 1) ...
Trees can influence both the supply and availability of nutrients in the soil. Trees increase the supply of nutrients within the rooting zone of crops through (1) input of N by biological N2 fixation, (2) retrieval of nutrients from below the rooting zone of crops and (3) reduction in nutrient lo...
CIAT has worked in Ethiopia for 30 years, in collaboration with the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) and regional agricultural research centers. Initially focused on bean variety development − getting improved, better beans to communities, improving their nutrition and incomes ...
